Lost In Translation

Let's stick with the comics theme today. Comic book sound effects are great. All that "bam, biff, kapow" business - brilliant. Imagine getting paid to come up with words like that on a regular basis. That's the job for me.

"What have you got for me today, Baldy?"

"Well, how about 'kersploing'?"

"Nice work, shiny one, have another biscuit."

"Oooh, bourbons..."
